Do you get to see the Pens pregame right before the game starts? This is my first year having ROOT on DTV and wanted ROOT to watch the pregame stuff before switching over to Center Ice.

Yes....I usually get the regular season games and pre / post games on Root (unless its on national TV)...for some reason the black and gold game is too precious and valuable to broadcast..

I live IN the city of Pittsburgh and have NHL Center Ice, and no Sports Pack.

Lady was trying to tell me that I needed to buy the Sports Pack to have access to the game. That is incorrect, as it is a LOCAL channel that is never blacked out. If I lived out of state, she would be correct. I have NHL Center Ice, but Center Ice is not picking up this game obviously. She kept telling to me check my local channel, "IT IS MY LOCAL CHANNEL!"
